A lot of small business owners in the Philippines tell me the same thing. "I know I need a website, but I can't spend tens of thousands of pesos on one right now." That's a fair concern. When every peso goes back into stock, rent and salaries, a website feels like a luxury.
It doesn't have to be. I'm Aldrian, an independent web developer in the Philippines, and I offer a starter website package for ₱6,000 a year, all-in. It's a real website, hand-coded for your business, on your own domain. Not a template with your logo pasted in, and not a page that disappears when a platform changes its rules.
What ₱6,000 gets you
Here's exactly what's in the package, with nothing hidden in the fine print:
- Up to 4 pages, hand-coded for your business
- Your own .com or .net domain for the first year
- Hosting for the first year, on fast, reliable infrastructure
- Mobile-friendly layout, because most of your customers will visit on a phone
- A working contact form that sends inquiries to your email
- Basic SEO setup, so Google understands what you do and where you are
- 3 rounds of revisions while I build it
- Ready in 5 to 7 business days once I have your text, logo and photos
Extra pages are ₱1,500 each, and content updates after launch are ₱600 per request. You'll always know the price before anything happens.
The four pages most small businesses need
You don't need twenty pages to look established. Four well-built pages cover what customers actually look for.
Home
A clear first impression. What you do, who you serve, where you are and how to reach you, all visible in a few seconds on a phone.
About
Your story and the people behind the business. Customers buy from people they trust, especially from small businesses.
Services or products
What you offer, explained simply, with photos and starting prices if you want to show them.
Contact
Your address, map, hours, phone, Messenger or Viber link and a contact form, so nobody has to hunt for a way to reach you.
Why it can be affordable without being cheap
Most low-cost websites cut corners on quality. Mine cut costs in a different way.
No page builders. I write only the code your site needs. That's why it loads fast, even on mobile data.
No monthly software fees. There's no builder subscription or plugin license to pay every month.
No agency overhead. You're paying for the work itself, not an office, sales team or account manager.
A focused scope. The package covers what most small businesses need. Features like online checkout, booking systems and member logins aren't included, which keeps the price low. If you need them later, I can add them with a separate quote.
Who this is perfect for
- Home-based businesses and online sellers who only have a Facebook page today
- Service businesses like repair shops, cleaners, tutors and consultants
- New businesses and startups that need to look credible from day one
- Professionals like lawyers, accountants, architects and doctors who need a clean, simple site
- Shops, cafés, salons and clinics that want customers to find their hours and location
- Anyone tired of paying monthly for a website builder
Why a website, when you already have Facebook?
Keep your Facebook page. It's great for posts and chats. But a website does things Facebook can't:
- It shows up when people search Google for what you sell in your area
- Your prices, services, hours and location are always easy to find, not buried under months of posts
- You own it, so a hacked or restricted page can't take your business offline
- It makes you look more established to bigger clients and corporate customers
I wrote more about this in from Facebook page to website.
How it works
- Send the request form on the ₱6,000 package page with a few details about your business.
- I reply by email with a checklist of what I need: text, logo, photos and your preferred domain name.
- I build your site and share a preview link you can open on your phone.
- You request changes, with three revision rounds included.
- Your site goes live on your own domain, with hosting covered for the first year.
What you need to prepare
- Your business name and the domain name you'd like, such as yourbusiness.com
- Your logo, or just your business name if you don't have one yet
- Short text for each page. Notes are fine, and I can help tidy them up
- A few good photos of your shop, products, team or work
- Your contact details, address and hours
Content is the part that takes longest. The sooner it's ready, the sooner your site goes live.
Common mistakes with cheap websites
Domain registered in someone else's name. Always make sure the domain belongs to you. With my package, it's set up in your name.
Pages that break on phones. Many cheap sites look fine on a laptop and fall apart on mobile. Mine are built mobile first.
Forms that never send. I test every contact form before launch, so inquiries actually reach you.
No way to update. When you need a change, you message me, and small updates are a flat ₱600. No disappearing developer.
Hidden monthly fees. The package is yearly, all-in, with renewal costs explained upfront.
When you'll need more than the starter package
Be honest with yourself about what you need. The starter package is a strong foundation, but it isn't the right fit if you need:
- An online store with cart and checkout. See my e-commerce page.
- Online booking with time slots and payments. See booking systems.
- Member logins, client portals or dashboards
- More than a handful of pages from day one
For those, I'll send a custom quote. Many clients start with the package and grow from there.
Getting found on Google
Basic SEO is included. That means clear page titles and descriptions, a sitemap, fast loading and structured data that tells Google your business name, location and contact details. I'll also recommend connecting your Google Business Profile, which is free and one of the most effective ways to show up in local searches.
